A Completely Redesigned Control Center

A Completely Redesigned Control Center

Celebrating Gigahost's 20th anniversary, the Control Center has been rebuilt from the ground up with a modern design, powerful new features, and an improved experience for everyone — from beginners to advanced users.

The new Control Center puts everything at your fingertips. Press Ctrl+K to instantly search and jump to any page. Manage your domains, emails, databases, backups, and more — all from a modern, responsive interface that works beautifully on any device.

Explore the new sections

Front Page

Your dashboard at a glance — quickly register new domains, see the latest news from our blog, and get an overview of your hosting account.

Access

Find all the credentials you need in one place — SFTP/SSH, database, and DNS details. Server addresses and passwords are easily copyable with a single click.

Emails

Create and manage your email accounts with ease. Set up catch-all addresses, email forwarding, and auto-replies — all from a clean, intuitive interface.

Domains

Register new domains, transfer existing ones, and manage subdomains. Configure DNS records, SSL certificates, and PHP settings. The built-in domain troubleshooter runs automated checks to help diagnose any issues.

Databases

Create and manage your MySQL databases. Access phpMyAdmin directly from the Control Center, and change your database password whenever you need to.

Backups

Rest easy knowing your data is safe. Browse and restore automatic backups of your files and databases, or create manual backups whenever you need them.

Tools

View detailed statistics for your domains, manage periodic jobs (cron jobs), and use the built-in File Manager to browse, upload, and edit your website files directly in the browser.

SMS

Send SMS messages directly from the Control Center. Manage your contacts and track delivery — a simple, integrated messaging solution for your business.

Support

Access guides, tutorials, and technical documentation for setting up your websites and CMS systems. Need help? Contact our support team directly from the Control Center.
